Use Reply Now to send a message to a caller

You will never have to excuse
yourself from a meeting or conversation to answer the phone again.
With the Reply Now feature, you can
send a caller a brief message instead of answering an incoming call. By default, if
the caller is a BBM contact, the Reply Now message is sent as a BBM message. If the caller isn't a BBM contact, the Reply Now message is sent as a text message. Depending on the
recipient of the Reply Now message, additional text messaging charges might
apply.

When you receive an incoming call, tap or .

Do any of the following:

To send one of the default Reply Now messages, tap a message.

To compose a new message, tap Custom Message.
Type a message and tap Send.

Silence the ring tone when you receive a call

If you receive a call while your
sound notifications are turned on, you can quickly silence your ring tone. When you
silence the ring tone, you still need to answer or decline the call.
